Wakenhyrst Book – signed copy
Lisa Writes…

Good afternoon, my mum has lost her signed copy of her favourite book. Would it be possible to pay for another copy at all please. Many thanks

Michelle Replies…

Dear Lisa, I’m so sorry to hear that about your mum’s book, but I’m afraid I can’t send you another signed copy, as if I did it for you I’d have to do it for everyone, and that wouldn’t really be feasible.  I hope you understand.  I can tell you, though, that I’ll be doing a few book events in the autumn, and as soon as details are finalised, we’ll post the venues on my website – so if there’s one near you, I’d be happy to sign another copy if you bring it along.  I hope that helps a bit.  And I’m chuffed to know that your mum likes Wakenhyrst so much!  With very best wishes to you both, Michelle

Shadows and Spirits: Writing the Unseen

October 30, 2025

Step into the shadows with three masters of modern Gothic and supernatural fiction - Michelle, Syd Moore and CJ Cooke - as they explore why dark stories continue to captivate us. From haunted coastlines to Arctic wastelands, and from age-old folklore to the secrets of the human psyche, these acclaimed authors weave tales that blur the boundaries between the real and the uncanny. In this compelling conversation, they’ll discuss the enduring appeal of the Gothic, the influence of myth and landscape, and why stories of ghosts, spirits, and things unseen still resonate in today’s world. Expect insights, chills, and a celebration of fiction that thrives in the shadows. Tickets are limited so get them while you can!
